Into The Phantomverse
Chapter 8: Trouble's Brewing
Previously
"Anyway, the townsfolk started talking...and more and more dangers started happening...Spirit would get restless so...I got some new clothes, hid my white hair under a white hat...since it was unusual...and I sort of...-
'Because a hero..."Danny finished.
"I wouldn't call myself a hero.."Daniel said.
"Why not? You saved your sister and defend the town when it is in trouble?...'Danny asked.
"Let's just say I had to get my hands dirty lots of times..there are a lot of nasty characters in these parts...even worse, dark spirits lurk around here, and I also have to deal with them...I got to do whatever I can to protect the people of this town...if not...what's the point of these powers, anyway?...'Daniel said in a solemn tone.
"I...I see...'Danny said, feeling both amazed and troubled.
The Phantom Ranger is definitely a counterpart to Danny Phantom. He is clearly a good guy, if someone a little rough around the edges...but he is also pretty lonely and judging from his tone, he has to deal with more problems that even Danny has yet to face.
Suddenly, a hand was slammed to the ground, startling Danny, as he looked at his doppelganger.
"I already told y'all my story, so now it's y'all's turn...who are you? where are you from? what sides of the family do you belong to and why haven't I ever knew that I had a relative that looked so much like me?...TALK!...'Daniel demanded, making it obvious that he is not kidding around here.
Main Danny gulped. This is not going to be an easy conversation.
Main Danny tried to open his mouth to speak..and well..
"I...um...well..."He is stuttering now and Western Danny or Daniel quickly got annoyed.
"Talk like a man! NOW! I ain't got all day!...'Daniel demanded and Main Danny blinked, before he sighed and took a deep breath.
He knows he has to talk and explain things but how the heck do you explain the multiverse theory to someone who lives like it's still the 19th century around here, even more, how does he explain that while he is Fenton, he is essentially this guy, but from another world?
"He already told me his story...I have to tell him mine..." Main Danny thought, resigning to that fact.
The sooner he explains the situation, the sooner he can get the piece of the map back and the sooner he can get his help to find Vlad and the rest of the map before more trouble happens/
"Okay...Look...before I tell you anything..do you still have something that looks like this?..."Main Danny asked as he pulled out his bits of the Infi Map, getting Western Danny's attention.
"That looks like that piece of cloth I found earlier today..."Daniel said as he pulled it out from his pocket and Danny sighed in relief.
'OK, good...look, it's a long story of why I am here but I really need that piece of cloth you found..."Danny said.
"I ain't handing it over until I get my explanation...so stop beating around the bush and get to it..."Daniel insisted.
"Geez, am I as uptight as this guy?...'Main Danny thought, before sighing.
"Okay, look...it's like this-...'Danny started.
However, before he could continue, they suddenly heard the sounds of guns firing and chaos happening outside.
"WHAT THE HECK?!...'Danny exclaimed.
"WHAT IN TARNATION?!..."Daniel shouted as he quickly grabbed his shot gun and the two of them ran outside.
To their horror, they saw that a now empty pen and all of the sheep that had been inside of it were nowhere to be found.
"WHERE ARE THE SHEEP?!...'Daniel shouted in horror, before turning to Danny.
"I...I don't know..."Danny said, as he watched his western counterpart look so mad and anxious right now.
"Thieves! At my home and on my watch! I was in charge...This is terrible! Those sheep make up most of my family's livestock...without them, my family's farm will be ruined!..."Western Danny shouted in dismay.
"Calm down, calm down...they couldn't have gotten far, let's...let's look around and see any clues and then go after them..."Main Danny suggested and his alternate self nodded, desperation obvious.
To their surprise, they didn't see any signs of anyone breaking in and running off with the sheep, not even footprints or anything. It's like the vanished out of thin air.
"When I get my hands on the low down thief who did this...'Western Danny grumbled as he looked around.
"This is so weird...a bunch of sheep can't disappear without leaving any trace...'Danny muttered as he tried to think.
However, the young boy then noticed something sticking to the entrance of the gate...It looked to be a note...with a cursive VP imprinted on it.
"What is this?...'Main Danny said as he grabbed it and his counterpart noticed and came to him.
"What's it say?..."Daniel asked.
"To Daniel...Both Daniel's...Yes, I know of your situation...I do believe that I and my associate have something that belongs to you, and one of you have something that belongs to ME! I would HIGHLY recommend that you both bring me the remaining pieces of the Ini-Map or there will be consequences. Come to the desert by the twin hills by sun down, unless you want Phantom Ranger's livestock to become lambchops...
Yours truly, Vlad Plasmius..." Danny read the note, before gripping it in anger.
"PLASMIUS?!...'Western Danny shouted in horror and anger.
"I take it that you know him?...'Danny asked, not being surprised that there is an alternate Vlad Plasmius at this point.
He has a feeling that's the associate that Vlad was talking about. Danny then saw his western counterpart marching around in an angry fit, to the point that his blue eyes were glowing green, making it obvious he is well passed peeved right now.
"Of course I know'em...every single person in this side of the country has heard of Dead Eye Plasmius!..."Daniel shouted.
"Dead Eye Plasmius?...'Main Danny questioned and saw his look-a-like get madder and madder at the thought of his version of his arch-enemy.
"Dead Eye Plasmius, he's the meanest, nastiest, most low down, ornery outlaw and rustler on this side of the U.S And A!…" Western Danny shouted in anger.
"A fruitloop…" Main Danny couldn't resist adding.
"Right on the nail…"Western Danny said... 'He's the most wanted man in this region, committing every darn crime in the law book...I have spent almost a year after him, trying to bring him in, but he's more slippery than a greased pig and more nasty than a desert cobra! He's the only man I haven't been able to bring in since I became the Phantom Ranger!..."Western Danny shouted... "And now he's goes after my family's livestock...Now I'm REALLY mad!..."Western Danny said.
"So am I...Listen, I think your enemy and my enemy are working together to get this..."Main Danny said as he pointed to the piece of the Infi-Map.
"What's so special about this? I just found it and thought it made a nice sweat rag..."Western Danny asked.
"Ever heard of the saying...things are not as they appear to be?...'Danny said as he pulled out his piece and they both started glowing.
"What in tarnation?!...'Western Danny muttered.
"This piece of cloth is part of a map, a powerful map... my enemy wants it and will do anything to get it...There's more to the story, a lot more but we don't have a lot of time to explain, it's close to sun down...so you will have to trust me and know that I am not your enemy here and I really need your help..."Main Danny said, while Western Danny was silent, before he nodded.
"Fine...I'm getting my disguise and Spirit and his brother Thunder...if we go now, we might make it before sundown..."Daniel said.
"Or...it might be faster if...we just fly there..."Danny said and Daniel shook his head.
"I ain't flying...I already told you why...I thought you understood..."Daniel said.
"I do understand...way more than you even realize..."Danny said as he decided to do this now.
Two rings appeared, and Daniel James Fenton felt a shock he hasn't experience in over a year now...since he saw his reflection in the river water after his encounter with the portal...
Now, he is once again looking at that exact same face...green eyes, white hair...and a glowing body...on his supposed relative.
"W-W-What in...t-tarnation?...'Daniel finally let out.
